Priests for Life

"Personnel is policy," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, "and our President-elect has continued his pattern of surrounding himself with qualified, solidly pro-life personnel who will advance the kinds of policies that those who elected him want to see.

"In particular, I want to congratulate Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, who has been selected as White House Chief of Staff, and Stephen K. Bannon, CEO of Trump for President, who will serve as Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President.

"In my own pro-life work I have seen how committed these men are to advancing the rights of the unborn. Reince Priebus says of himself, ‘I'm a 100%, Psalm 139, pro-life Republican’, and I have seen firsthand, as I have interacted with Stephen Bannon in his role with Breitbart News, that he, too, is a smart and passionate advocate for the weakest children among us.

"During this election campaign, I often made the point that along with looking at the candidates, we had to consider what kinds of people they would bring with them if elected. Voters did consider that, trusting that Mr. Trump would bring in people who share our values and commitments. With the choices of Reince Priebus and Stephen K. Bannon, he has certainly not disappointed us," concluded Fr. Pavone.
